A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Antimicrobial Activities of Symbiotic and Non-symbiotic Bacteria Associated with the Entomopathogenic Nematode, Steinernema feltiae

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
The use of antibiotics against a range of pathogenic bacteria has increased in recent years, leading to the development of drug resistance, which makes disease control challenging.

An iron-binding protein of entomopathogenic fungus suppresses the proliferation of host symbiotic bacteria

Microbiome
Entomopathogenic fungal infection-induced dysbiosis of host microbiota offers a window into understanding the complex interactions between pathogenic fungi and host symbionts.

Identification of Natural Isonitriles Through Ligation to an Azomethine Imine Probe

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The azomethine imine (AMI)–isonitrile (NC) ligation allowed for the chemoselective detection of natural isonitriles in bacteria and fungi. The reactivity‐based screening establishes a new stereogenic center, thereby allowing for facile distinction between chiral and achiral isonitriles. The work also unraveled a unique reactivity of isonitriles bearing

Evaluation of insecticidal activity of entomopathogenic bacteria Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus against shoot and fruit borer Earias vittella (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) of vegetable crops

, 2020
The shoot and fruit borer, Earias vittella is one of the major polyphagous pest prefer various host plants attacking almost 38 plant species and causes yield loss of 15-45% in vegetable crops annually in India.

Interaction between entomopathogenic bacteria and their hosts [PDF]

, 2021
Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus are Gram-negative, entomopathogenic bacteria, living in endosymbiosis with the soil-dwelling nematode of the genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis. The life cycle of these nematodes consists of non-feeding infective juvenile (IJ) stage, which actively searches for insects in the soil.

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...

Bacterial insecticides beyond Bacillus thuringiensis

Phytopathology Research
Bacterial insecticides have emerged as a biotechnological strategy for controlling insect pests in crops, primarily due to the ineffectiveness of synthetic pesticides, which have led to resistance in insect populations due to their overuse.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

The evolution of entomopathogeny in nematodes

Ecology and Evolution
Understanding how parasites evolved is crucial to understand the host and parasite interaction. The evolution of entomopathogenesis in rhabditid nematodes has traditionally been thought to have occurred twice within the phylum Nematoda: in ...
